Birmingham Public Library Celebrating Read Across America Day on March 2

If you drop by one of the Birmingham Public Library (BPL)’s 19 locations on Thursday, March 2, there is a good chance you will encounter a staff member dressed in Dr. Seuss gear. BPL is joining thousands of libraries, schools, and community centers across the country participating in Read Across America Day, a nationwide celebration that takes place annually on March 2—the birthday of the beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss.
